Isa. My companion rune. I've pulled her often. Or she's pulled me. She represents a tree in winter. Seemingly asleep. The work is deep within, secret, silent, still. Not until Spring, the Great Show, like Nature's Recital, does the work show itself worthy and true. It is in the Winter, in the midst of the Great Slumber where there is Work to be done. It's no accident I'm at a crossroads, I've now opened my eyes to the opportunities before me. I remember I can choose from the roads I see and from those I cannot yet see. I can choose to be Awake. I can choose to Participate. And I do. I do choose Awake. I do choose Participation in my own Life. Frankly it's the only *smart* thing to do, it's a damn cool Life, ya know ♥I dreamed of jumping rope. In my new bra, of course. Muhammad Ali with boobs and braids. So I bought one. A really super cool one. The kind that makes *doubles* really easy. I was once skilled. And I remembered that everything good and wonderful about the playground of my elementary school was linked to jumping rope. I'm so glad to live again in that wonder.
I also remember how much I just like to stretch. Not yet yoga, a gentle awakening of my body. Reminding myself of all the parts I'm so thankful for, the parts that need my love and attention, the parts that make me who I am. A total-cellular Love Affair. Yeah, even the cellulite :) And my friend the fungus. Hey, he lives here, I should like 'im ♥
And in the liking who I live with category, I've made a Relationship to Money discovery. I actually spoke the words I hate money aloud. Like it was the truth. Already I've been cringing internally at the thought money and in my distaste for discussing it aloud in any way. Why? Why would money want to hang around someone, causing such intense discomfort? Not money's intention on any level. I want to have an enjoyable relationship with money. I proclaim my love of money. My deep and profound respect for and honor of money. Abundant it is. My relationship with money creates love, trust and joy in my universe. Amen.
...then there's food. Yeah, sing it like Maude. It's been the flagship of my issues for a very long time. Probably from the moment I was given anything other than my mommy's milk. Yeah, it's deep and well rehearsed. Today, however, I realized the fear at the heart of Food for me. I fear I too will be hurt by food. That I will use the Abundance of Food to cause harm to mySelf. Ick. Again, not a constructive thought. That voice has been fired. I love mySelf. Abundant food shows my love for my family and for myself. Abundant food represents my Faith in the Benevolence of the Universe is well placed. The Universe's Trust in Me to use The Bounty for Life, is also well-placed. Amen.
I will unstick my chi. By Any Means Necessary. I will participate in My Life. I will shine a Light onto those relationships in my mind that are wallowing in darkness, unattended. I will move more. I will Listen. I will do The Work, as it speaks to me. I will joyfully have my heretofore apathetic ass kicked, joyfully and in earnest.
And just one hour after placing my request with the Universe, I found and bought one of these for us. SCB really, really needed it. I do too ♥ Yay us! Yay sun-like-light!
All is as it should be. And it is Grand!Happy Happy New Year!
